Driver's season in which he's become a No. 2 target on the team and still has a chance of having about 1,000 yards receiving is pretty impressive. I know some believe he won't be a Packer next year, but I think the little things like this is the reason he will be.

Donald Driver will be a Packer in '09. Look at his numbers. A drop off in receptions in yards, sure. But not TDs. How many does he have so far?

Plus, I'm pretty sure his teammates love the guy. He's a class act. He's someone you want in your locker room.

I sure hope he doesn't leave the Packers....he will definitely be in the Packers' history books.

Also, I think he will get the 1,000 yard mark this year. He only needs 99 to get there.

What I admire is that he goes across the middle. Everyone knows that if you go across the middle that there is a linebacker or saftey waiting to light you up, but Driver does it consistently. Was it on MNF where they said he has the most catches in between the hashes of any active player? I know I saw it somewhere.

Edit: Plus his 1st down dance is second to none :thumbleft:

Ted Thompson can't let another guy like this go, or he'll get killed in the media and by several fans

While I firmly believe Driver will be a Packer next year, it's not for any of the reasons listed above. I don't think Ted Thompson makes personnel decisions on this basis. If he did, Favre would never have been let go (nor would Rivera, Wahle, Franks, or any of a number of other "fan favorites"). I think, barring injury, Driver will make the roster on the merits of his performance.

He's a hard worker that runs through the middle if he has to, carries defendes with him if he needs that extra yard.

Not only is he willing to go over the middle, he leads the league in yards caught up the middle since coming into the NFL. It's not a stretch to say he is a unique receiver -- the vast majority of his yards (well over 75%) come over the middle.

I also love watching him battle the defenders. He refuses to go down, constantly wriggling for that extra yard or two, yet he never seems to lose the football. There's nothing I hate worse than a showboating receiver or running back trying to get that extra yard and then watching helplessly as the ball gets stripped. It really pisses me off when the ball carrier has already got the first down and is just showing off. Unless you know what you're doing, get the first down and get back to the huddle.

I believe that's Adrian Peterson's problem.

Driver should be a packer till he retires. Why give up the NFC's version of hines ward a tough humble person that never complains and gives the game his fullest everytime he plays. Green Bay would be stupid to let him go.

Heh. Here I am bumping my own thread, but I think this needs to be said.
Driver now has the Packers' record for most straight 1000-yard seasons with five. This is right after that beautiful bomb by Aaron and the nice run and dodging tackles by Driver for his 5th TD of the season.

Congratulations Donald Driver!

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
